1-Day Chongqing Citywalk (A)

A one-day Citywalk through the charms of Chongqing's mountainous city. From the aerial beauty of the Yangtze River Ropeway to the nighttime glamor of Ciqikou, we enjoyed the precipitation of history, modern prosperity, artistic creativity and cultural heritage. Each stop is a unique experience, leaving deep and beautiful memories.

In the early morning light, a Citywalk exploring the charms of Chongqing's mountainous city kicked off. First, we stepped onto the Yangtze River Ropeway, a heart-pounding journey through the air. As the cable car slowly slides out of the station, the Yangtze River shimmers beneath your feet, and the scenery on both sides of the river unfolds like a scroll.

After getting off the ropeway, you will enter the Eighteen Stairs, which is full of historical flavor. The stone paths here have gone through vicissitudes of life, and each piece of green stone plate records the stories of the past. The old houses on both sides of the street are mottled, but you can still see the prosperity of the past. The small stores along the street are bustling with all kinds of handicrafts and local snacks, and the air is filled with tantalizing aromas.

We will then take you to Jiefangbei, the commercial center of Chongqing and a symbol of the city. The towering monument gleams in the sunlight, and the surrounding skyscrapers showcase the city's modernity and prosperity. You can stroll through the busy streets, admire the various stores and billboards, and feel the fashion and vitality of the city.

In the late afternoon, we will take you to the Eling No.2 Factory, a creative park full of artistic and literary flavor. The park retains the industrial look of the old printing factory while incorporating modern design elements to create a unique artistic atmosphere. You can walk through the park, visit various art exhibitions and creative stores, and feel the perfect fusion of art and life.

Then, we will bring you to the scene of the spectacle of the Liziba Light Railway passing through the buildings. This incredible sight is breathtaking as the LRT train slowly passes through the residential buildings. You can stand on the observation deck to get a close-up view of this mind-blowing scene and feel the harmonious coexistence between modern transportation and ancient architecture.

Finally, as night falls, we will take you to the old town of Ciqikou. The town is full of lights and people, and is filled with a rich historical and cultural atmosphere. You can stroll along the green stone road and admire the ancient buildings and the wide range of handicraft stores. Taste the authentic Chongqing snacks in front of the food stalls in the ancient town and feel the unique spicy and fresh aroma. Listening to a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance in a teahouse is a great way to appreciate the unique charm of the Bayu culture. This day of Citywalk in the laughter in the curtain, you will be full of harvest and unforgettable memories left this beautiful mountain city.

Special thanks to my guide, Sofia. It's really hard for me to find a Spanish tour guide. She is professional and I have a good understanding about the China culture under her guide. During the Xi'an trip, I was shocked by the strong atmosphere of culture. I hope I can go next time, really love it.

Independent travel by train in China…
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
